A purposeful new footprint
Decide whether you need a bigger kitchen, a dining space, family room or a combination with quieter areas. The route through the existing house matters just as much.

Daylight into the old and new
Depth, rooflights, glazing and the position of structural openings influence how much light reaches rooms behind the extension.
A calm construction sequence
Foundations and external structure can be planned before opening up the house where practical. Weather protection, temporary facilities and access need early thought.
Share what is not working at the back of your home, and what you want the new space to make possible.
Design & build
The details behind an effortless connection
Structure and levels
A wide opening may need substantial structural support. Existing floor levels and the threshold to the garden affect both engineering and day-to-day comfort.
Drainage and services
Existing drains, kitchen services and heating routes can cross the proposed footprint. Locating them early helps avoid avoidable changes on site.
Materials and access
Brick matching or deliberate contrast, roof junctions and access for deliveries all shape what is practical on a particular plot.
From idea to build
Bring the right information to the conversation
A sketch or design, any known planning status, the property location and a sense of your intended budget are enough to begin a useful discussion.
Confirm the route to consent
Rear extensions may qualify as permitted development in some circumstances, but size limits and property restrictions vary. Confirm the position with your designer or local planning authority; building control requirements still apply.
Agree scope before the opening
Finishes, glazing, kitchen interfaces and temporary living arrangements should be considered alongside structural work, rather than treated as last-minute extras.
